So I had stretch marks before I had my laparoscopy on 02/11/2016 but they seem to OF gotten worse since, I understand with the gas this is probably expected but the bloating has gone down and the stretch marks are more visible deeper and worse than they were before.

Bio oil just wasn't helping before lap and don't want to put any on until stitches have dissolved and healed just as I don't want anything to get in them.

Has this happened to anyone before and do you have any tips on how to make them fade / disappear for good before I rip my skin off?!?

They're my biggest problem when it comes to self esteem and confidence and I really hate them and the fact they've got worse just makes me even more upset, I'm just under 10 stone which I know I need to lose some weight (as I'm 5"1) but at the moment can't do any intensive workouts due to recovery , before I would always be clean eating and working out and I just can't shift weight easily, and PCOS doesn't help with that.. does any women on here have any suggestions on how to lose weight and make the stretch marks go? Would be much appreciated
